Perhaps they were trying to make it like the other "Wives" reality shows and that wouldn't fly. I for one would like to see that show or any other Nascar type show like 24/7, Beyond the wheel, Nascar Confidential etc as long as it does not become like those "real housewives" shows. I wonder if we've lost those great shows so we could keep all the practice and qualifying coverageNewracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-83076386899464610502009-04-24T15:05:00.000-04:002009-04-24T15:05:00.000-04:00I would love to see a NASCAR Where Are They Now sh...I would love to see a NASCAR Where Are They Now show about the retired greats of NASCAR like Jr. Johnson, David Pearson, Harry Gant, or the not retired Morgan Shepherd. Just scanned part of what appears to be a very good article on Handsome Harry by David Newton. Unfortunately, older folks get little respect from the all-wise media, which seems odd as the over-50 group keeps growing.<br /><br />Could the lack of NASCAR related programming indicate that NASCAR is taking a too short-range view and focusing on current profit for the NASCAR media group rather than long-range promotion of the sport??Richard in N.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25156516405072373442009-04-24T14:29:00.000-04:002009-04-24T14:29:00.000-04:00I loved Beyond the Wheel when it first came out an...I loved Beyond the Wheel when it first came out and even watched some of the NBS 24/7. I miss Beyond the Wheel very much, but honestly a show called NASCAR Wives? It would rank right up there on my viewing list with Wrecked -- and that's Never. I'd love to see good NASCAR programming - edited film as you said, but so far, the pickings are slim.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-45493972815071247012009-04-24T13:53:00.000-04:002009-04-24T13:53:00.000-04:00JD

So it's not actually his own show. They gathered a group of athletes and C list celebrities who will compete in staged athletic events.<br /><br />As for Nascar wives, seeing that the whole Real Housewives series is such a hit, I'm guessing TLC wanted something similar. But to be honest, if the Nascar wives were to be portrayed in the same manner that these overindulged, egomanical, back-stabbing witches are, Nascar would be in a world of hurt, and couldn't handle the negative publicity. But, like they say, any publicity is supposed to be good publicity.<br /><br />But can you imagine---Ingrid saying nasty things about Delana, or Amanda Sadler getting into a cat fight with Kelley Earnhardt?

It was called 7 days. There were more than just drivers profiled, but it was a behind the scenes type show that aired on Speed along with NBS 24/7 that hotaru was referring to. Those shows were on just a few years ago.
